Chapter 44
Lucy and Matthew finished their breakfast quietly. After the waiters took away their plates, Matthew took Lucy’s hand.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to have some fun.”
To his surprise, Lucy took a step back and shook her head. “No thank you. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do.”
Matthew was a little confused. “What is it? I thought you were free.”
He recalled Lucy’s schedule and remembered that she did not have anything planned for the day.
Lucy was free, but she was reminded of what happened previously. She lowered her emotionless gaze.
“A lot of things have been going on at my company. I’ve already taken a few days off. I can’t ignore matters there any longer.”
Matthew understood now. “Your comic company?”
Lucy nodded.
“Okay, I’ll send you there.”
He did not want to get in the way of his wife’s important business. Besides, they could have a vacation anytime they wanted.
Matthew changed his mind on the spot and turned to take her to the underground parking lot.
Lucy’s mind was so occupied by her company’s affairs that she was not watching where she was going while she followed him.
“Lulu, which car would like to ride in?”
The sudden question brought Lucy to her senses. She looked up

blankly and swept her eyes across the many cars in the underground parking lot.
“Which one of these is your car? We’ll just take that one.”
Matthew smiled. “All the cars here are mine, wifey. Do you want to ride in every one of them?”
Lucy gaped at Matthew’s handsome face. “These… are all yours?”
Matthew nodded.
She fell into a trance. She knew that Matthew was rich, but she did not know that he was this rich.
Was she really married to such a powerful man?
Only then did Lucy feel how surreal everything was.
“Wifey?”
Matthew waved his hand in front of Lucy. “What’s wrong? You’re zoning out.”
Blushing, she did not even bother picking a car anymore. She just randomly pointed at one.
Matthew raised his brows and said, “Porsche 911. My wife has good taste.”
He pulled Lucy into the car and drove off.
He kept talking while he was driving, “If you like this car, do you want it? You can drive it to work every day.”
Lucy turned him down without a second thought.
“Huh? Why not? It’s just a car. You d’t have to be so polite.”
Matthew was in disbelief.
Lucy shook her head and said, “No thanks. I have my own car. I can’t.
drive that many cars anyway.”
Matthew understood, but he was still upset that she said no. He kept quiet the entire ride.
When they got to Lucy’s company, he took out the car keys and
stuffed them into Lucy’s hand.
“Not only am I giving you the keys to this car so that you can

“If you drive my car to work, others will know that you’re married, so it’ll defer any unwanted attention.”
He paused for a bit and continued, “My wife is so outstanding. I’m sure you turn many heads.”
Lucy was shy. Why would anyone want to pursue her? The only guy she ever dated turned out to be a jerk.
Upon hearing his last sentence, she pouted angrily and retorted, Who’s the real head–turner here?”
